"I'm having a mad bath day, aren't I." -- me, upon realizing that 23+2 = 25, instead of 24.

Teaching Pink Shirt Guy a few things about computers, specifically, spreadsheets. He strikes me as sarcastic and cynical enough to have made a good BOfH had he gone into the correct field.

Dismissing phone goons for break takes a lot of boring repetition in hollering things. To wit: "If you're not on the phone, go ahead, go on break; if you're not on the phone, go ahead, go on break; if you're not on the phone, go ahead, go on break; if you're not on the phone, go ahead, hit the computer; if you're not on the phone, go ahead, go on break..."

One booth is out because the left-side control key isn't working. This is an insurmountable obstacle for the less tech-savvy. One booth is out because the CRT is going bad, and no longer displays yellow. Our survey telnet is white text on blue background. This means it's now pink text on a blue background, which is very good for gender awareness, but also very difficult to read, and an insult to the tender masculinity of no few phone goons.

Resp: "I don't believe in surveys."
Phone goon: "I assure you, they're very real, sir. ... Are you real?"

It, for the love of God, is hassle, not hastle. I assure you. Also, see Bob the Angry Flower on the subject of apostrophes. Trust me, the little NET SEND in the direction of your booth on the topic was a veritable love note.

"Pasta salad with alfredo sauce" is macaroni and cheese for grown-ups.

I continue to be irresponsible with NET SEND. Of course, irresponsibility is relative. It's not like I'm crumpling up paper and tossing it across the room. (This time. The other times, I completely missed my target by about 4 inches. Much better than hauling off and hitting the co-worker with a fist, eh? Anger management is great.)

I send myself Booths Behaving Badly draft e-mails throughout the weekend, so I can forward it to the Sunday II check-in and the person making the seating chart, so the person doing the seating chart won't seat people there to start with, and the check-in will know that no one should wind up there, period.

Sunday I is a very quiet shift, and stuff that's gotten put aside the rest of the week can get done today.

The staff for Sunday II is starting to drift in just about now.

OMFG brainless n00b coming in for the 1pm Sunday shift, claiming he's been doing this for the last three weeks. Um, NO. There is no Sunday 1pm shift. And I have been working Sundays the past 3 weeks, and I assure you that I would have remembered your clueless ass.

Now we have a crowd. Hooray Sunday II.

Things I have to deal with on a regular basis:

CIVIL ENGENIOOR BUILDING HOUSE'S
THEY NEED TO ADUCTED MORE ON A PARTICULA OBSERVATION

I am using Net Send irresponsibly at work to pass
notes to [livejournal.com profile] figment0.

Spreadsheets are my friends. So's coffee. I plan to
get home, fall flat on my face, call Darkside, and do
my laundry. I wanna go hooooooome.
